US sanctions Cambodian senator for millions earned through scam compounds

The U.S. Treasury and DOJ sanctioned Cambodian senator Kok An and multiple associates for facilitating large scam compounds that perpetrate cryptocurrency investment and other frauds against U.S. victims, launder proceeds through casinos and banks, and involve human trafficking and violent abuse; the action is part of a broader Scam Center Strike Force response that includes arrests, seizure of 503 web domains, international raids, and multi-million-dollar rewards. Authorities trace significant victim losses into accounts tied to the network, and law enforcement continues cross-border investigations and prosecutions against operators and facilitators.
